I've been playing Exile on a Mac for years, and just got a new PC which I've tried to download Blades onto. Unfortunately, everytime I try to install it says my autoexec file doesn't support programs for windows and dos (or words to that effect). The first time I tried I managed to install and play, which then crashed my computer completely and I had to do a system restore. Now it won't even let me install the basic program that you download. Any ideas? -------------------- I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve. Let the chips fall where they may. Posts: 1277 | Registered: Sunday, December 9 2001 08:00 |

I guess that your OS is Windows XP. Try this link for support: How to troubleshoot program compatibility issues in Windows XP -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

Thanks for all your help, but I need more! (sorry). Reconfiguring my autoexec and config files fixed the autoexec but shifted the problem to the config, and nothing I did would remove the problem. Seems that changing the config mended the autoexec and vice versa, but nothing would do both. I think the problem is autoexec in my c:\I386 folder. Anyone with some computer knowledge would really be in my good books right now! Thankyou -------------------- I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve.

Here are some things that I would do: 1. restart your comuter 3. if that doesn't work then re-install Exile. 2. if those two things don't work then archive all of your stuff onto DVDs or CDs. Re-Install the system. THIS IS LAST RESORT! Hope his helps P. S. Question: Is this the first Exile? P. P. S. Question: Why did you leave Mac? -------------------- Hi. Why is the universe so BIG?

I've reinstalled Exile about 6 times. Everytime I change something I reinstall and try again. How would I go about reinstalling my system? And the reason I switched from Mac is because I moved out of my parents house and the computer they got me for my birthday happened to be a PC. -------------------- I say never be complete.

You can take my Mac once you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse . . . On a mac re-installing is really easy, but you have Windows :( . . . Do you have a system disk (CD)? If you do then you should just be able to pop that little baby in there and follow the on-screen instructions. If not you may need to contact Microsoft here.
